1961 Jeep Willys CJ5 Pickup Meyer Half Cab V-6 3 Speed Survivor

Description for Jeep CJ 1961

Here is a very complete mostly original CJ5. I believe it received a frame-off restoration in the 1980s. Judging by the engine swap, and the quality of paint both on the exterior as well as under the tub body. The frame is rock solid. Top speed is around 45mph-50mph from the factory. Not suitable for the highway. I have driven it a few hundred miles around town with no mechanical problems.

Brakes are decent. I've driven it for a couple months with no problems. But if I were to keep any longer I would upgrade the brake pads and flush the entire system with fresh brake fluid.
